Vicki Farley, LPC

Vicki Farley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with more than 20 years of experience. She brings a warm, client-centered style to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, depression, and life transitions.

She has worked in private practice and in addictions treatment programs. Clients have ranged in age from teens to seniors and have presented with simple concerns and complex issues that require thoughtful attention. Some people have chosen her because of her combined background in counseling and health care when they face medical or caregiving challenges.

Her therapeutic outlook draws on Jungian and Adlerian ideas while her day-to-day style is grounded in client-centered listening. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques when they fit a person’s goals and problems. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are part of her toolkit for emotional regulation and coping.

Vicki emphasizes matching methods to the individual rather than using a single fixed approach. She often begins by listening closely so clients can tell their story and start to sort through what matters most. Sessions aim to be practical, with tools and steps people can try between meetings.

She describes therapy as a collaborative journey where the client’s needs guide the work. If someone chooses her, she commits to keeping their best interest at the center of the process.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Her practice draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy to address emotional stress and life challenges. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and empathy, helping people tell their story and make choices that fit their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills that can ease stress and improve sleep.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and practical needs and then suggest which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to travel. Working remotely can also let someone use audio-only or lower-bandwidth options if that better fits their situation. Licensed professionals guide the process to match methods and timing to everyday life.
